Briefly

A Minecraft Movie includes a poignant nod to the late YouTuber Technoblade, whose in-game avatar was a crowned pig. As Jack Black's character introduces the pig in a scene, it sparks joy and recognition among young viewers familiar with Technoblade’s legacy. Following his death from cancer at 22, Technoblade has been revered by fans and fellow creators alike. His influence is palpable in the Minecraft community, where his name is whispered with affection. The movie's homage serves to immortalize Technoblade’s impact on gaming culture and his beloved persona among fans.
There's a scene quite early on in A Minecraft Movie that, to the unaware, would completely pass you by. As Jack Black's Steve introduces the newly arrived humans to his village, young teenager Henry sees a pig walk past wearing a crown.
Since his untimely death, Technoblade has been canonized by his contemporaries and followers, his name spoken with a lovely reverence.
One of the many lines of text that can appear when you launch Minecraft reads "Technoblade never dies!"
The character asks, "Is he some kind of king?" "No," says Jack Black, before a long pause, adding, "He's a legend."
